Chapter 19 Chen Bao's Inside Information
Chen Baoqing cleared his throat, about to speak, but was interrupted by Chen Xi.
She frowned and said, "Chen Bao, what are you doing? Didn't your parents arrange a professional coach for you? What questions can't you ask him?"
Chen Bao chuckled awkwardly, "Mr. Wu is busy, he's often on missions and stuff..."
"Isn't this a perfect opportunity to ask Coach Lin?"
Chen Xi wanted to say something more, but Lin Chong stopped her.
Lin Chong looked at Chen Bao and said calmly, "Ask away."
"I will answer all your questions to the best of my ability."
Chen Bao smiled, his words laced with sarcasm: "Don't worry, these are all basic questions. As a professional coach, you'll definitely know the answers!"
"The first question is, for Chilipeie, which move should she prioritize mastering: Leaf Beam or Thornvine?"
Before Lin Chong could speak, Chen Xi became angry.
She grabbed Chen Bao's ear and scolded, "Your sprite is clearly a flat-shelled creature, so why are you asking questions about Chillie?"
"Do you have doubts, or do you question Lin Chong's teaching abilities?"
Chen Xi didn't stop this time, pinching Chen Bao until he grimaced and his ears turned red, but he still stared at Lin Chong relentlessly: "Please answer me, Coach Lin!"
Without hesitation, Lin Chong replied easily, "There is no difference in quality between these two skills; it depends on Qiliye's talent focus."
"If you're good at magic attacks, then you should choose Leaf Beam; if you're good at physical attacks, then consider Thorn Vine."
Upon hearing this, Chen Bao's eyes widened, and he hurriedly checked his phone, exclaiming in surprise, "You got it right?"
"It's exactly the same as what Mr. Wu said!"
Lin Chong nodded knowingly: "This Mr. Wu must be the professional coach Chen Xi mentioned, right?"
"If a novice trainer is unfamiliar with the difference between physical and magical attacks, they will definitely make mistakes on this issue."
"From the perspective of assessing me, this is a very professional question."
Lin Chong's words made Chen Xi even angrier, and she glared at Chen Bao with uncontrollable fury.
"I've already told you Lin Chong isn't a liar, why don't you believe me?!"
Chen Bao covered his ears and protested, "I was just worried you'd get scammed!"
"Mr. Wu said that Pokémon evolution cannot be controlled by humans at all. This guy named Lin Chong is about my age, yet he can be a coach. He seems like a fraud no matter how you look at him!"
Chen Xi picked up her bag and smashed it over Chen Bao's head. The latter panicked and ran away, but still protested.
"He might have specifically researched information about Chilipe to deceive you!"
"Sis, let me ask him one more question, just one! If he can answer it again, I'll apologize!"
Lin Chong watched the siblings chasing and playing around, and said with a dry laugh, "No need for an apology."
"Addressing customers' concerns is part of my job, and I don't mind it..."
A moment later, Chen Bao was grabbed by Chen Xi, pinned to the ground, and beaten. Chen Xi yelled, "Ten thousand yuan! If you answer correctly, I'll give you another ten thousand yuan!"
"Here's a bonus insider tip about the elf college entrance exam—stop my sister!"
Ok?
Upon hearing the price of 10,000 yuan, Lin Chong was filled with respect: "That's acceptable."
He walked over and pulled Chen Xi aside, looking at Chen Bao, who was disheveled and looked nothing like a rich kid, and said seriously, "Ask away."
"I will answer correctly with an unwavering determination to win."
Chen Bao sat on the ground, wiped his face, and first held up one finger, then changed to three.
"Name one... no, three! Name three Pokémon with dual evolution forms, and I'll be impressed!"
Chen Xi was stunned, her anger turning into confusion: "Dual evolution? What's that?"
The so-called dual evolution refers to the fact that certain Pokémon possess two completely different evolutionary forms, a knowledge that ordinary high school trainers cannot access.
However, this was far too easy for Lin Chong. Even without the experience provided by the "intermediate trainer," he could answer the questions with ease.
"Bookworm, Pink Star, Blue Pearl Swan."
Seeing Lin Chong answer so quickly, Chen Bao hurriedly checked his phone. He asked in a daze, "The first two are correct... Does the Blue Pearl Swan also have a second evolutionary form?"
Mr. Wu's answer did not include it, but Lin Chong's response was so calm that it intimidated Chen Bao.
What Chen Bao didn't know was that Lin Chong's heart skipped a beat at that moment.
He subconsciously uttered the name "Blue Pearl Swan," forgetting that no one in this world had yet discovered the branch evolution of "Black Feather Lady."
Lin Chong mumbled, "It's what I heard, it might not be true. I'll change it to jelly, do you have that?"
Chen Bao looked at the list and nodded blankly.
Seeing that Chen Bao had given in, Chen Xi immediately grabbed his arm and said sternly, "Quickly fulfill your promise and apologize to Lin Chong!"
Chen Bao scratched his head, glanced at Lin Chong with an awkward expression, and quickly said, "I'm sorry."
Lin Chong didn't even hear clearly, but he didn't intend to make a fuss. It was already quite an achievement to make a young master bow his head.
And no amount of apologies can compare to the real value of 10,000 yuan!
Lin Chong was secretly delighted, but outwardly remained calm and said, "Tell me, what's the inside story?"
Chen Bao stood up, straightened his disheveled clothes, and lowered his voice, saying, "I heard from Mr. Wu that the candidates for this year's college entrance examination are all exceptionally strong!"
He paused, organizing his thoughts, and said, "Because the federal government is going to introduce new policies next year."
"The news that all students will only be able to receive Pokémon in their final year of high school has been circulating since last month. In order not to be blocked by the policy, those who prepared their Pokémon as early as their second or even first year of high school are all skipping grades and trying their best to get into this year's college entrance examination!"
"Therefore, this year's competition will see a large number of dark horses emerge; it's a battle of the titans!"
Chen Xi covered her mouth in surprise, somewhat worried: "Why would such a policy be introduced?"
"It just so happens this year. I thought I was already guaranteed to get into Shimizu University thanks to Kiriye."
Chen Bao shrugged, indicating that he didn't understand either, but Lin Chong nodded thoughtfully, as if he understood something.
When Chen Xi asked him, he didn't hide anything and answered.
"I think the Federation wants to improve the college application experience for students from underprivileged families. They can't obtain spirits at an early age like students from wealthy families. Introducing this policy can narrow the gap in hard skills between the two groups during the college entrance examination..."
As he spoke, Lin Chong was secretly astonished. He hadn't expected that the Federation of this world would have such courage to directly challenge the authority of the rich.
While this approach cannot completely close the gap, at least the attitude has been shown, and it has had an effect.
Lin Chong pondered for a moment and said, "This actually doesn't have much impact on us senior high school students who are originally taking the exam."
"Although our future opponents have become stronger, it is enough for us to simply improve our strength and prepare for battle as much as possible."
"Alright, let's continue training."
Lin Chong's calm and composed attitude surprised the Chen siblings, but after thinking about it carefully, they felt that what Lin Chong said made a lot of sense!
Immediately, Chen Xi summoned Qiliye to continue training, while Chen Bao scratched his head and said that since Lin Chong was not a fraud, he also had to go back to prepare for the battle, as he had his own training plan.
Lin Chong nodded to indicate that he understood.
"Well then, see you in the college entrance exam."
